Slope the pipe so water runs out. Put a small gravel "dry-well" at the lower end for the water to drain into. Sure there will be water in the pipe, but it shouldn't get full and thus shouldn't compress the cable.

Hi all,

I am running Davis Bury-Flex out to a new 40M vertical in my back yard.  (Maine 
coast.)  As it is going across gravel walkways and near garden beds, and will 
not be that far below ground level, I am worried about it getting cut or nicked 
in the future from yard work, etc.

My plan is to use 1” sched 40 PVC conduit – the gray stuff – for protection.  
(I will not be adding additional coax, wires, etc., ever, so this should be big enough.)

My Concern:  the conduit will obviously become full of water – will freeze 
cycles and the expansion of ice inside the conduit compress and therefore damage the  
Bury-Flex in any way?
